Verse
The story goes something like this,
I stepped out of that truck and stole that first kiss,
Remember that was the day that we first met,
You were walking home from Church with your friend Yvette
Down on St. Charles lane, just around the corner
Where me and the boys had pulled an all nighter.
Down at Bayou Betty?s, just a little place
Where those nice girls help the young men fight their rage

Chorus
I looked at you and I was gone
There?ll be no more days at Betty?s till dawn
You just reeled me in like that Old Catfish
that just gave up, he gave up and quit
You just dipped me in your batter and fried just right
And now I?m yours honey every night.
You keep me warm in your heat lamp
I ain?t goin? no where, not gonna be no tramp No

Bridge
I want you to know that on that day you stole my very sole and
God sentenced me life with you as my wife.
I don?t want probation Lord no, not an early release you see
Cause 10 times life is just alright with me.

Verse
The Boys came by with that look in their eye,
They were pulling that Swamp Boat, the one that don?t float.
Fishing poles were sticking out of the back, and
that old shot gun they carry for fun was in the rack
They said come on boy we?re Catfish ?N? tonight,
We?re going to stay out till that Sun gets bright.
You know I took a step and then I turned around,
ah ah honey I?m still spell bound.

Chorus
Cause I looked at you and I was gone,
There?ll be no more days at Betty?s till dawn.
You just, reeled me in like that Old Catfish
I just gave up honey, gave up and quit
You dipped me in your batter, you fried me just right,
And now yours honey every night.
You keep me warm in your heat lamp,
I ain?t going nowhere, gonna be no tramp No
There?ll be, no more days at Betty?s till dawn.
